Hey there,
This issue has happened to me several times, although I feel it's getting worse recently. At some point my PC crashes and then if I try to turn it on I can see the power led on and the fans are spinning, but the peripherals (screen, leds on mouse and keyboard) get no power. Then after some time I can turn it on again.
I've unplugged and plugged in all the components on the mobo except the CPU. Nothing really helped. Tested with 2 different graphics cards and 3 different RAM blocks, but to no avail. At some point the PC just decides to work. I though I fixed it the last time by resetting CMOS, but this time it didn't work.
Also for some reason the EZ XMP led is always on regardless of the position of the EZ XMP switch.
It died today then came back alive after an hour off. Then I decided to flash BIOS with the latest 3503 version. During the flashing it died again. Thought it's fried for good. Came back alive after an hour. Apparently the BIOS is updated to 3503 now.
It's really frustrating and I can't really seem to pinpoint the actual issue. So confused...
